TG News Report

Butler Community College’s Life Enrichment will host Leon Leachman at 9 a.m. and Ken Spurgeon at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, May 1 at the Hubbard Welcome Center of the Butler of El Dorado campus.
Leachman, a retired Butler employee, will talk about the history of Israel, as well as what is going on in Israel today. He will share photos from a recent trip to Israel.
Spurgeon, executive director of Lone Chimney Films, will present and answer questions about Lone Chimney’s fourth film, “Home on the Range.” “Home on the Range” tells the origin story of Brewster Higley’s “Home on the Range” song and cabin, located in Smith Center, Kansas. In 1872, Higley, a frontier doctor, wrote the poem under the title “My Western Home,” inspired by his home, a small cabin along Beaver Creek, and celebrates the prairie.
Life Enrichment meets on the first Tuesday morning of the month during the school year.

Meetings take place in the Clifford/Stone Community Room at the Hubbard Welcome Center on the El Dorado campus. Meetings are open to everyone and there is no charge to attend.
